For various reasons, I'm now using the Opera 10.10 browser on Linux. With the new vector skin, trying to open an edit form takes 4 or 5 seconds. This is not because the servers are slow, the whole is quite fast in Firefox, but in Opera time elapses while executing the JavaScript that adds the toolbar above the main textarea and rearranges the left menu. During this time, I can sometimes set the cursor in the textarea, but two seconds later focus is gone, and I have to set the cursor again before I can start to edit.
It was not this slow under the old monobook skin.
I know I can go back to monobook, so don't tell me. I just wanted to report this. Perhaps there's some part of vector that can be improved.
First of all try 10.60 (or 10.61 to be more exact). Secondly there will be some improvements with load times when the ResourceLoader will be used. See: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ResourceLoader
Not sure if this would work for you thou as page rendering time might be actual stopper in your case. But new version of Opera is faster at that.
